close OF the war of the rebellion,
every Northern State and a great majori-
ty OF Northern counties and cities were
burdened with taxation on account of the
large bounties paid our soldiers; and the
bonded debt thereby created, still consti-
tutes large item in the account of the
tax gatherer against the people, Federal
taxation, no less borne by the people than
that directly levied upon their property, is
still maintained at the rate made neces-
sary by the .exigencies of war.
eff this bill should become a law, with
its tremendous addition to our pension OBJ
legation, I am thoroughly convinced that
further efforts to reduce the Federal reve-
nue., and restore some part of it to our
people, will, and, perhaps should be, seri-
ously questioned. It has constantly been
a cause of pride and congratulation to the
American citizen that his country is not
put to the charge OF maintaining a large
standing army in time of peace. Yet we
are now living under war tax which has
been tolerated in peaceful times to meet
the obligations incurred in war. But for
years past, in all parts of the country the
demand for the reduction of the burdens
of taxation upon our labor and production
has increased in volume and urgency.
81 am not willing to approve meas ure
presenting the objections to which this
bill is subjected, and which, moreover,
will have the effect of disappointing the
expectations of the people and their de-
sire and hope for relief from war taxation
in the time of peace. ;"
The President closes his message by
saying:
''rhe evil threatened by this bill is, in
my opinion, such that, charged with a
great responsibility in behalf of the peo-
pie, can not do otherwise than to bring
to a consideration of this measure my best
efforts of thought and Judgment and per-
form my constitutional duty in relation
thereto, regardless of all consequences,
except such as appear to me to be related
to the best and highest interests of the
country"

Better ran Than Not Try.

Failure Is the next best thing 20 success;
it may even be a better thing than success.
To say that one has failed, is to say that be
has striven and to say that he has striven,
is to say that he has acquired strength in
the striving. A boy who was taunted by
his neighbor in the class for failing In a
protracted attempt to answer a hard ques-
ton, replied: "Well, 1 would rather try
and fail than do as you did--sit still and do
nothing" A child's perceptions OF truth
and q philosophers conceptions OF truth
often come very near together; and what
that boy felt George Eliot expresses:
''Failure after long perseverance is much
grander than never 10 have a striving good
enough to be called q failure" Aud the
lesson Of that boys failure was a better
teaching than any direct teaching from tho
text Of the lesson itself. II is the part Of a
teachers wisdom 20 turn 70 good account
the lessons Of ignorance and failure, as
we'll as Of knowledge and snccess.-S. s..

Roasted to death in a Burning Jan.

MURFREEsBORO, Tenn, Feb 14.-By a
fire in the jail here yesterday morning
three prisoners were roasted to death
TAe men were confined in cages on the
first floor. The iailor and ten prisoners
were on the second floor, and barely sue
ceeded in escaping. The three men on
the first floor were Wells Lyons, charged
with forgery, and Nose Nancy and Jack
Erwin, charged with train wrecking
Vigorous efforts to release them were
made, but the fire spread so rapidly that
nothing could be done, and the crowd that
gathered stood and heard the screams Of
the unfortunates as they slowly roasted
to death, powerless to aid them. The
other prisoners were turned loose because
there was no place to keep them.

Boxnton,s Ren1r TO Colonel rred Grnnt.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 19-In regard to the
letter of Colonel r. D. Grant of February
s to Major w. G. Carroll, of Baltimore,
General Boynton says:
Colonel Grant seems to forget the publication
of the letters Of General Rawlins and other
facts related thereto was in reply to an attach
upon the gentleman connected with the Com
DlerctdJ Gazette, initiated and conducted by
those who assumed to be the friends of Gen
eraI Grant, and that it carried on by them
with much bitterness for year and a half. He
fergetS that it was based upon a private let
ter of Mr.. Halstead's, written during the war
conveying to Cabinet of1cer some very start
ling facts in regard to the habits of the COM
manding General the Mississippi which il
was proper to communicate, and most impor
tant to have privately known. He seems also
to forget that these published letters of General
Rawlins, admitted to be correct in the very let
ter which he now condemns fully establish tbs
correctness Of the essential facts thus privately
made known to Mr.. Chase at the time when
there was ample reason to fear that they might
put in peril the safety of the army.
So long as the newspaper assaults were on
one side, and one side only was dealing in
stolen private letters, and treating them in the
discussion as if the author had opened public
attack upon the memory of General Grant the
contest seemed to afford general and
prolonged amusement to all concerned
in carrying IL on, but since those
attacks have turned upon the field with
LIL6 GOLCluSlVS 6Flu6nC6 OA Jn6 raw ms ieILera
upon the main points of the controversy, there
has been much to say Of assaults dead
heroes and of assasSins of character. The dis.
cussionIs not pleasant one, but from the first
it has been forced by those who assume to be
the friends of General Grant, It has now
reached stage where it rests with them to say
whether it shall go on until the sorrowful array
of details, but partially outlined by the Rawlins
letters, become part of the unquestioned his
tory OF the war. There are countless homes of
mourning in the land in which. in view of the
revelations of those letters, the question will
inevitably arise whether the death shadow did
not fall upon them because of orders which
should not have been given, or blunders which
a clear head would not have made. There is
something due to these heroes and to those
who gave them to the country. The least OF
all which the country owes them is that war
history shall be truthfullv written

MILK IMPROVING.
No Chalk and Water in Their
Milk.

Milk has been improving very rapidly,
according to the samples tested by the
dairy commission experts. The law re-
quires a standard of 81 per cent. fat.
Only little while ago the milk tested
as low as lbs, and the average didn't
reach much more than 2.56. Since the
new oil test churns have been put in
operation at the commissioners the no
tceable increase first jumped to 3.5S
June II, which is equivalent to All of
butter. June 20 sample tested as high
as 1928 of butter. These tests were
taken from the wagons of the Mime
sofa Milk company, according to the
statement of experts of the dairy COM
mission. Milk from another wagon,
Capital City Milk company, June 16,
tested as high as 4.18 of fat, or ATS of
butter. The Union Milk company runs
from 1856 to 3.5S of fat, or to All per
cent. butter. Frank Clifford, of Mer-
RAM Park, also is said to deliver milk of
a very high quality. Minneapolis milk
men and milk buyers are keeping As
SiStant Dairy Commissioner Howard
very busy by sending into him vOlun-
tary samples of milk to test. The milk
mems samples generally test very high,
